I see what you did there

Used the word properly? Although it could be debated that the cold air storage fitment isn't "fixed" but since it is plumbed into the water supply I say close enough.

fit·ment
ˈfitmənt/
nounBritish

noun: fitment; plural noun: fitments

a fixed item of furniture or piece of equipment, especially in a house.

We have the same problem, but also can not access the enclosed high temperature food production fitment at the same time as the cold air storage fitment. Replacing the cold air storage fitment with one of the side-by-side type might alleviate this somewhat, might be worth a closer look the next time it's up for replacement.

We just replaced our cold air storage fitment last year with one that has the extra cold section in the bottom. This restricted access to the utensil cleaning fitment even more but there is never really any need to open both at the same time. When we redesigned the room we made very sure that the high temperature food production fitment was not across from anything else. It was originally directly across from the water dispensing fitment which was a royal pain in the ass.

Damn. The Viagra posts are all gone. Now I will never know what the side effects are.

That's pretty much where we are ending up with ours that is ongoing right now. The entire thing was gutted and we basically started over. We had this odd angled wall that contained the baking and microwave fitments that served no real purpose other than reducing the space where a decent island would go.

The only things that will be in the same place in ours is the water fitments (dishwasher/sink/refrigerator). Everything else including much of the electrical has been moved.

Fortunately, once you removed the fake wall we had a pretty decent size and relatively square space.

I've posted about this in my fb, but while driving to work. Lady in left lane was slowing down for red light, but piled up snow from the roof slid in front window. Instead of slowing down more, she accelerated thinking snow will go up again (IDK why). Running a red light getting hit by a car. Result I stay there as a witness, help the lady out from the car, waited for cop, write the paper & got to work later than I wanted to. I explain that to my boss and she just laugh out loud for how stupid ppl can be.

TLDR: Take your time to brush off ALL the snow from the car. Specially the roof.

What's even worse is when it flies backwards onto the car behind and the idiot that caused the problem is oblivious to the havoc they left behind.

I have seen minivans go down the road with 3 or 4 FEET of snow on the roof. Some were so loaded and heavy that they looked like they were slammed.

I don't mind snow blowing off a car but the 12 to 20 foot sheets of 2 inch thick ice that can come off of trailers after a freeze - thaw cycle can literally kill you.

We don't have problems with snow around here, but you do have to watch out for the idiots who spray windshield washer fluid on the freeway.

In our master bath, we moved the human waste removal fitment, and increased the size of the human detoxifying fitment from 3x3 to 3x4. Now 2 humans can detoxify at the same time, if you know what I mean. (That was for @Clipdat)

Would it be too weird to have an off-topic, "who has the best handwriting?" contest?

This may either be a great idea or the greatest idea ever.

I would win easily.
